Finding the Right 2027 Ford F-250 Trim for Your Driving Routine
Ford has designed the 2027 F-250 lineup to make it easy for buyers to match equipment levels to the way they plan to use their truck. Every trim comes standard with the 7.3L gas V8, while the High-Output Power Stroke diesel is available throughout the lineup.
The five F-250 trims each bring a different combination of durability, convenience, technology, and comfort:
- F-250 XL: The XL is the work-focused starting point. It includes SYNC 4 with an eight-inch center display and a 2.5-inch trailer hitch receiver, while available four-wheel drive and off-road packages can add adaptability for rougher terrain.
- F-250 XLT: The XLT adds everyday comfort and driver-assist features. Standard equipment includes Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking, Forward Collision Warning, a rearview camera, an integrated trailer brake controller, and SYNC 4 with an eight-inch center display.
- F-250 Lariat: The Lariat adds a more refined cabin and additional technology. It features a 12-inch digital cluster display, SYNC 4 with a 12-inch center display, a wireless charging pad, PowerScope trailer tow mirrors, dual-zone automatic climate control, and a B&O sound system.
- F-250 King Ranch: The King Ranch blends Super Duty capability with a distinctive premium cabin. It includes Kingsville leather seating, heated and ventilated front seats, a 14-speaker B&O Unleashed sound system, a head-up display, a 360-degree camera, and Pro Trailer Hitch Assist.
- F-250 Platinum: The Platinum sits at the top of the F-250 range with leather seating surfaces, heated and ventilated seats, a head-up display, a 360-degree camera, a 14-speaker B&O Unleashed sound system, and power-deployable running boards. The available Platinum Plus Package adds features such as quilted leather seating, Max Recline front seats, a power moonroof, the High-Output PowerStroke diesel, and 2.0 kW Pro Power Onboard.
This range makes it easy to choose a truck based on how much comfort, trailering technology, and premium equipment are needed throughout your daily driving routine. Not only that, but having a variety of choices brings a sense of customization to your decision, which increases buy-in and pride every time you start the engine.
Heavy-Duty Power for Towing and Hauling
The 2027 Ford F-250 starts with Ford’s 7.3L V8 gas engine, which produces up to 420 horsepower and 445 lb-ft of torque. Ford pairs it with a TorqShift-G 10-speed automatic transmission with selectable Normal, Eco, Slippery, and Tow/Haul drive modes.
Drivers who regularly move heavier trailers can choose the available 6.7L High-Output Power Stroke V8 Turbo Diesel. It produces up to 500 horsepower and 1,200 lb-ft of torque and works with a TorqShift 10-speed automatic. The diesel also has an exhaust brake, which can offer added control when descending grades with a load.
When properly configured, the 2027 Ford F-250 can tow up to 22,100 lbs and has a payload rating of 3,918 lbs with the diesel engine. With the V8, its max towing figure is 19,500 lbs, and it has a payload of 4,175 lbs.
It is important to understand that exact limits vary depending on engine, axle ratio, drivetrain, cab, bed, trim, options, passengers, and cargo, so you should match the truck to the trailer rather than relying on numbers on a spec sheet. Our team can help with this, ensuring you get the capabilities you need to make each day’s tasks easier.
Equipment Suited to the Job
Ford also offers equipment that helps you build your F-250 around the specific jobs you regularly complete. Available fifth-wheel and gooseneck hitch pre-package, gooseneck and fifth-wheel hitch kits, a High Capacity Axle Upgrade Package, snow plow prep package, heavy-service front suspension package, and available upfitter switches. These options help tailor your own F-250 for a variety of commercial and recreational uses.
Payload and Cargo Ratings
Payload and cargo ratings also change depending on how you configure the F-250. Cab style, drivetrain, engine, wheelbase, GVWR, equipment, passengers, and installed options can all affect how much weight a specific truck can carry, making the vehicle’s individual certification and payload labels valuable references when configuring a truck for demanding work.
Trailering Technology and Driver Assistance
Capability matters most when the driver can use it consistently. Ford understands this, which is why it ensured the F-250 offers technology designed to help with hitching, reversing, visibility, load management, and driving in traffic.
For instance, several available trailering features make routine towing tasks more manageable, such as the following:
- Pro Trailer Hitch Assist: When engaged, this feature can control steering, acceleration, and braking while guiding the truck toward a conventional trailer hitch.
- Trailer Reverse Guidance: This feature uses camera views and on-screen guidance to help when reversing.
- Onboard Scales: Estimating the weight placed in the bed is easier with this feature.
- Smart Hitch: This feature helps assess trailer tongue weight.
The 2027 Ford F-250 is also equipped with a long list of driver-assist features, such as Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking and Forward Collision Warning, while upper trims offer BLIS with Cross-Traffic Alert and Trailer Coverage, Reverse Brake Assist, lane-keeping technology, Intelligent Adaptive Cruise Control, front and rear parking sensors, and a 360-degree camera.
Finally, the Lariat, King Ranch, and Platinum trims come standard with a digital rearview mirror with electrochromic self-dimming for the 2027 model year. The mirror uses an exterior camera to provide you with an unobstructed live video feed. The result is a clear, wide-angle view when rear-seat passengers or cargo are in the way.
Cab, Bed, Comfort, and Off-Road Choices
The F-250 can serve very different owners thanks to the multiple cab and bed configurations it offers. XL and XLT buyers have access to regular cab, Super Cab, and crew cab configurations, depending on equipment, while the upper end of the lineup centers on the spacious crew cab. Available bed lengths across the lineup include 6.8 ft and 8.2 ft beds.
The 8.2 ft bed can be useful for owners who regularly carry long materials or want maximum cargo-floor length. Crew Cab models offer more space for rear passengers. Plus, crew cab configurations with the 8.2 ft bed and 176-inch wheelbase benefit from a 48-gallon fuel tank, which extends the distance between fuel stops.
Ford also gives off-road buyers more choices for the 2027 model year. The Tremor Off-Road Package is now available with either the 6.8 ft or 8.2 ft bed, and Ford has expanded Tremor availability to the XL when paired with the STX Appearance Package. Tremor hardware includes the following:
- 35-inch Goodyear Wrangler DuraTrac tires
- Electronic-locking rear differential
- Limited-slip front differential
- Skid plates
- Tremor-tuned suspension with factory lift
- Trail Control
- Trail Turn Assist
- Rock Crawl Mode
There is also an XL Off-Road Package 35-Inch Tire Package along with the previous year’s 33-inch tire package. The 35-inch version adds equipment such as all-terrain tires, performance shocks, additional ride height, off-road driving technology, skid plates, and a matching full-size spare.
Comfort-Focused Drivers
For drivers who spend more time on pavement, Ford has included a number of amenities, starting with the Lariat trim, which adds ActiveX-trimmed seating and dual-zone climate control. For King Ranch and Platinum trims, comfort is taken up another notch, with leather seating, heated and ventilated front seats, premium audio, heated rear seats, and more.
